A man who got behind the wheel of a car and managed to drive to a Brisbane home after he was shot repeatedly is a member of the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang, according to police.

The bikie was shot in the hip, arm and shoulder in the early hours of Friday before driving to a friend’s home in Banyo to get help.

It was one of three shootings in about a 12-hour period in southeast Queensland.

It is not clear where the 45-year-old man was shot before he drove himself to the house on St Vincents Road.

The man has undergone surgery at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where detectives hope to speak to him on Friday afternoon.

But it is unclear whether he will be willing to co-operate with police.

‘‘We’re used to that approach. We certainly don’t let that deter us, and you can rest assured that we will pursue this investigation as vigorously as we possibly can, with or without the assistance of the victim,’’ Deputy Police Commissioner Ross Barnett said.

Mr Barnett said the man’s acquaintances at the Banyo home did not appear to have links with the bikie gang.

The man was among three injured in separate shootings across southeast Queensland on Thursday, which the deputy commissioner described as an ‘‘unfortunate convergence’’ of incidents.

‘‘The fact is, in the last 24 hours we’ve had an unfortunate convergence of three incidents which at this stage have absolutely no link,’’ Mr Barnett told reporters in Brisbane.

Police are still hunting for a gunman who shot another man in the leg as he loaded motorbikes on to a ute in the northern Gold Coast suburb of Pimpama on Thursday afternoon.

The 39-year-old was approached by a stranger who demanded his car keys.

When the victim refused, he was shot in the leg and the offender fled into bushland.

A manhunt, involving the police PolAir helicopter, has failed to locate the suspect and locals have been warned to be alert.

The victim was treated at Gold Coast Hospital.

In another shooting, a man was shot in the mouth outside his home in Brisbane’s south.

Emergency services were called to the Norton Street house in Upper Mount Gravatt about 2pm on Thursday with reports two men were arguing in the front yard.

They found the 31-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his lower face.

The entire road was cordoned off and the McDonald’s restaurant on Logan Road placed in lockdown for half an hour, before police arrested the alleged gunman.

A police source said investigators found small amounts of the drugs ice and cannabis at the Norton Street house.

However, police believed the violent row between the two men stemmed from a relationship dispute involving the victim's partner, the source said.

A 24-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder and and unlawful possession of a weapon and is due to face Holland Park Magistrates Court on Friday.

The 31-year-old man was taken to hospital, but his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

A 44-year-old woman from Upper Mount Gravatt is currently assisting police with their inquiries.

Mr Barnett has conceded officers are concerned about the number of firearms being bought on the black market, particularly in Queensland’s southeast corner.

‘‘It is a reality that people with enough money and the right connections can source illegal firearms on the black market,’’ he told 612 ABC Brisbane.

Mr Barnett said police had set up firearms trafficking teams in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.

‘‘We don’t want to see people like this having possession of illegal firearms and it remains a major focus of this department,’’ he said.

The deputy commissioner said the spate of shootings did not necessarily indicate a distinct trend, given there were generally peaks and troughs in crime data.
